Retweets for the Week Ending 7/26/09

Hopefully I'm not jumping the shark by starting this week's discussion.

Here are the directions according to the founder of the group...

Please post your 140 character (or less) message that you'd like others to tweet about in the Discussion Forum thread "Retweets for the Week". A new discussion will start each week with this title every Sunday so we know which retweets are current.

Example: RT @julieFBT Have u declared the American Cancer Society as the official sponsor of your birthday? http://budurl.com/ACSMoreBdays

It can be a new blog post, a product, service, worthy cause, sale, promotion, contest, funny video, new website, an upcoming event...I think you get the idea. :) Members can pick and choose which messages they'd like to tweet about to their followers.

It's important to keep in mind that if you want others to retweet for you, make sure you retweet for others or this won't work. Also keep in mind that engaging on Twitter is about posting tweets of value to your followers. Evaluate these RT requests and only retweet the ones you feel will add value.

Members may post a brief intro about themselves & their business on the comment wall, but please do not spam members.

Please do not try to sell the members your product or service. Please add this info to your profile on "my page".

Please do not ask for feedback about your blog or business.

Please do not add full blog posts. These are best left on your profile blog.

To keep this group as streamlined as possible I will delete posts that do not adhere to these guidelines without notification.

Let's keep this simple and easy for members to use. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better and building an awesome group! Thank you!!

I've retweeted everyone and will hopefully have a blog update to be rt tomorrow.

I would be really helpful if everyone put #RTTM (re-tweet Twitter mom's on their tweets then we could just do a search for #RTTM and hit retweet rather than having to cut and paste everything). Unless there is already a strategy in place that I don't know about. ?

hi there Angela
the biggest problem in doing this is that someone might not have the space to include that in the RT.. because it requires some tweaking of the tweet. However I just did it on one-- but with a RT @twittername, most of the moms find out who is RT'ing them.
